New York Pediatric Dentistry in Rye Brook by Sky Factory

Dr. Lou Cooper founded New York Pediatric Dentistry in Rye Brook, New York, to bring his decades of experience as a prominent Manhattan pediatric dentist closer to his home in Westchester County. The new office design included an illusory skylight to provide the well-established therapeutic benefits of views to nature.

Sky Factory’s arc-shaped Luminous SkyCeiling was a custom biophilic design feature over the treatment area first surprised and then relaxed patients.

“I chose a Luminous SkyCeiling because I wanted to do something spectacular and different in our office,” says Dr. Cooper. “We don’t have exterior windows and this really opened things up, bringing light and the outside in. The sky image fits perfectly with our Westchester bay area environment. It creates an ambiance that is comfortable and unique for both kids and their parents.”

“Working with the Sky Factory was a very good experience. Everybody loves it. Some even wonder whether it is a real skylight! It’s very unique and dramatic, and makes all of us feel good.”

Sky Factory’s illusory skies are the only research-verified virtual skylights in the world. They are designed to engage spatial cognition or depth perception in the causal observer, a deeply restorative wellness benefit in enclosed interiors.
